Question 1 of 5
A client with chemotherapy-induced nausea receives a prescription for metoclopramide. Which adverse effect is most important for the nurse to report?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Involuntary movements (extrapyramidal symptoms) are a serious, potentially irreversible side effect of metoclopramide due to dopamine receptor blockade. Reporting these promptly allows intervention, such as dose adjustment or anticholinergic use. Nausea, diarrhea, and irritability are less urgent side effects.
